Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment
Because my surgery did not spare the nerve supply I had total erectile dysfunction. I would recommend appointments with the erectile dysfunction clinic to discuss the options of gaining and maintaining an erection and the possibility of joint appointments with your partner.
How this treatment impacted my life the most
Due to the use of vacuum device and maintenance rings for a prolonged erection my wife doesn't feel "in the mood' for sex and does not want me to use injections ! Besides that she has been incredibly supportive.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Why did I give this answer?
I wanted the cancerous prostate removed in one operation with the knowledge I would have a high chance of seeing my grand children and family grow up. I also had great trust in my surgeon.
